- Publication 7 December 2022 Designing a Blockchain Model for the Paris Agreement’s Carbon Market Mechanism This paper examines the benefits and constraints of applying blockchain technology for the Paris Agreement carbon market mechanism and develops a list of technical requirements and soft factors as selection criteria to test the feasibility of two different blockchain platforms. The carbon market mechanism, as outlined in Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, can accelerate climate action by enabling cooperation between national Parties. However, in the past, carbon markets were limited by several…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Chapter: Loss and damage This chapter provides a commentary of Article 8 of the Paris Agreement focusing on loss and damage associated with climate change impacts. Published in: Paris Agreement: a commentary
- Publication 7 December 2022 SmartM: A Non-intrusive Load Monitoring Platform Real-time energy consumption monitoring is becoming increasingly important in smart energy management as it provides the opportunity for novel applications through data analytics, including anomaly detection, energy leakage, and theft. This paper presents a smart non-intrusive load monitoring approach for residential households, collecting fine-grained energy consumption data and disaggregating the data of appliances. The paper describes the implementation of the monitoring system, the data set…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Innovation capability building in subsidiaries of multinational companies in emerging economies: Insights from the wind turbine industry Research on the catching up of latecomer firms has generally overlooked whether, and how, subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNC) operating in emerging economies have developed innovation capabilities. Existing research on innovation capability building in MNC subsidiaries mainly employs quantitative research designs, comprising large samples of MNC subsidiaries using patent statistics to generate insights at a highly aggregated level of analyses. Accordingly, the existing research fails…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Transformation of India's steel and cement industry in a sustainable 1.5 °C world The anticipated economic and population growth in India will increase demand for material resources, energy and consequently carbon emissions. The global ambition to limit global warming to 1.5 °C by the end of the century calls for rapid and unprecedented action. As the most carbon-intensive sectors, India’s steel and cement industry will require a more transformative shift, both on the demand and supply side. Strategies from both supply and demand-side are analysed for steel and cement sector…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Can the urban poor reach their jobs?Evaluating equity effects of relocation and public transport projects in Ahmedabad, India Transport plays an integral role in socio-economic participation in any given society. Yet, traditional urban transport planning has neglected this important role and has limited its focus on the efficiency of the transport network itself, thereby overlooking the more difficult to measure socio-economic implications. This chapter reports on the use of accessibility metrics in evaluating social and spatial equity in Ahmedabad, India. In particular, we quantify the effect of two public transport…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Pathway analysis of a zero-emission transition in the Nordic-Baltic region A zero-emission pathway for the Nordic and Baltic region in Europe is described based on the comprehensive policy and scenario analyses, accompanied by energy system modelling. The analyses show that a least-cost strategy would massively employ renewable energy, particularly in the power sector. Through strong coupling across energy sectors and countries, electricity would play a central role in the decarbonization of the main energy sectors. In particular power-to-heat conversion, where heat…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Effects of Orientations, Aspect Ratios, Pavement Materials and Vegetation Elements on Thermal Stress inside Typical Urban Canyons The analysis of local climate conditions to test artificial urban boundaries and related climate hazards through modelling tools should become a common practice to inform public authorities about the benefits of planning alternatives. Different finishing materials and sheltering objects within urban canyons (UCs) can be tested, predicted and compared through quantitative and qualitative understanding of the relationships between the microclimatic environment and subjective thermal assessment…
